Thanks Sunnely - The reference table I was using (in Dr.S.Preskorn's - Outpatient Management of Depression) has nefazodone next to mirtazapine, and like my driving, I didn't stay in the proper lane when scrolling down the column.

That's what I like about this site; it keeps us honest. Thanks again - Cam
